This is taking forever

Progress on Eldest? Some. Still 192 pages to go. I will finish it tonight so that I can start Brisingr tomorrow. Hopefully Brisingr will be a faster read because I haven’t read it once yet.

This is taking me forever because I already know what’s going to happen and it’s not inspiring me to read any faster. Doesn’t really help that I spent 2 hours last night skipping the rest of the book before coming back to where I started skimming it from, right? xD

But now, back to reading the book. For real this time. I already read ~120 pages at Elina’s today, but I want to finish this book tonight as I said before. 🙂

Book 2: Eldest

So, this is the 3rd day I am reading my second book of the year. I took a little break yesterday, so this is really the second day of actually reading the book. But since I finished Eragon over a day “early”, I could finish this later tomorrow and still stay on my tentative schedule. But still, I know that even if I am on page 280 at the moment, I will try to finish this book today/during the night so that I can spend Twelth Night reading Brisingr, and hopefully start reading Inheritance on Saturday. But well see how it goes! 🙂
